Upon recalling the insults he had thrown at Chu Lian earlier, Ah Cai started to tremble. The face that had been full of fighting spirit earlier was now completely ashen pale in fear.
Two bailiffs took the bound Mrs Wang and Ah Cai off the hands of the manservants.
Suddenly, a puddle appeared on the cyan floor tiles, followed by a terrible fishy stink. When Wenqing looked down, she realised that the crotch of Ah Caiâs pants were soaked...
He had actually peed himself in fright.
When Manager Wang saw Ah Caiâs state, shame flooded his being. He glared at Ah Cai angrily; this was all that idiotâs fault!
Manager Wang had just gone to the gambling dens and lost some money. Afraid that Mrs Wang would find out, he had entered sneakily through the back door and bumped into Ah Cai when he was bringing out the dishes to the main hall. Ah Cai had cooked up this plan to get Manager Wang to bring over some bailiffs they were familiar with to scare Chu Lian and have her cough up more money.
Who would have thought that they would shoot themselves in their own foot!
Of course Manager Wang was filled with hatred!
The bearded bailiff came over to Chu Lian eagerly and bowed at the waist, âDoes Honoured One have any other orders?â
Chu Lian didnât bother speaking with the leader. Instead, she turned to Wenqing and said, âBring me the account books from the counter.ân/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Despite feeling the embarrassment of getting ignored, the bailiff didnât dare to voice any complaints. The gap in their statuses was too great. Furthermore, judging by the ability that the maidservant had showed just now, he didnât dare to underestimate them. Even if this young madam hadnât shown off her imperial identity, the five of them wouldnât have been a match for that one maidservant.
When he thought of that, the curly bearded leader appeared even more respectful and humble.
Manager Wang startled when he heard Chu Lianâs command.
What? The accounts?
Someone who was affiliated with the imperial family actually wanted to see the accounts of his little restaurant? There had to be something wrong with that, or he had misheard.
Manager Wang gulped in fright. Somehow, he managed to say a few words. âHon... Honoured One, whatâs there to see in our little restaurantâs books? They are merely a bunch of insignificant numbers; please do not tire yourself.â
Chu Lian looked down at Manager Wang. âManager Wang, I forgot to mention this to you. Guilin Restaurant has been given to me by my grandmother. This place will not require your services any longer.â
It was like Manager Wang had been struck by lightning!
The shock factor from this simple sentence of Chu Lianâs was worlds above the time she brought out the jade token carrying the insignia of the imperial family!
Manager Wangâs eyes looked like they were going to pop out of his head. Chu Lianâs words echoed in his mind, and when he finally processed what they meant, he immediately knew her true identity.
A young madam from House Jingâan? Who else could she be other than the third young madam, the most recent addition to the Jingâan household? Furthermore, this third young madam had only just received a personal title of Honoured Lady two days ago, conferred to her by the Emperor.
They had just tried to bully their own masters!
Had this young madam simply been a member of the imperial family, then their punishment for offending her wouldâve only been spending a few nights in a jail cell. With their connection to House Jingâan, they wouldnât have even experienced any hardship.
However, things were totally different now. Third Young Madam was not only a member of the imperial family, but she was also a member of House Jingâan. For mere servants of House Jingâan, like them, Third Young Madamâs words were law. To make matters worse, she was also the new master of Guilin Restaurant! Even if she wanted their lives taken, all she had to do was say the word!
A moment after, a wet patch appeared under Manager Wangâs crotch as well...
The apple didnât fall far from the tree. Both uncle and nephew had peed their pants; what an impressive ability!
